Does an error exist? Yes or No?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Yes, the error exists in the customer's record book

Step-by-step explanation:

The ending balance on the statement = $378.19

The amount of outstanding checks are to be deducted from the from the balance.

Hence now, the balance = 378.19 - (30.9+17.5+98.1)

                                        = $231.69

Deposit is added in the balance = 231.69+309

                                                     = $540.69

Service charge is been deducted = 540.69 -4.21

Balance in the bank statement = $536.48

Yes, the error exists in the customer's record book. Since, the balance in the bank statement does not matches the customer's record book.
